In dire need of a good editor

I picked up this book as the premise piqued my interest. The premise is the only thing that kept me going to the end. The book is poorly organized and copy edited. The writing oscillated between paragraph-long run on sentences punctuated by too many commas and then sentence fragments that don’t make sense. I expected the author to speak with more authority or at least to consult with more authorities on the subject. I think the author expected his narrative about himself, his friends, and the physical and historical descriptions of exterminators to be far more interesting than they were. While I certainly learned a handful of things, they were hard won. In all, this book could be cut down to half the length or less.
